I think PAX is a standard abbrevation in the travel industry for a client/passenger/guest etc.
When I was a tour guide many years ago for a British company in China, everything was "pax this" and "pax that". Before long, I wasn't talking to colleagues about "the person", but "the pax".
e.g. "The pax on my last tour were a right nightmare".

It's from the not terribly accurate Latin
Populo amentes extremis
There was a debate as to whether it would be more accurate to be CIS (Conscensis impedimenta sui) but I suppose the cabin crew one out on this one.
Hoc est iocus

Interesting - considering EXTREMIS has a 'S' in it, whilst I accept your answer it doesn't make any sense to me!
